How do I calculate the amount of turf I need?

Calculating the amount of turf needed for a project can be straightforward if you follow a systematic approach. First, you should measure the area where you plan to install the turf. This is typically done by measuring the length and width of the space. If the area is rectangular or square, simply multiply the length by the width to get the total square footage. For example, if your area is twenty feet long and fifteen feet wide, you would multiply twenty by fifteen to arrive at three hundred square feet. If the area has more complex shapes, you may need to break it down into smaller rectangular or square sections, calculate each section separately, and then add the totals together. It may also be beneficial to measure for any irregular areas, such as circular sections, by using the formula for the area of a circle (pi times the radius squared). Once you have determined the total square footage of the area, it is important to account for potential waste and future maintenance. A common practice is to add an additional ten percent to your total square footage to cover cutting and fitting. For instance, if your total square footage is three hundred square feet, adding ten percent would mean you need to order approximately three hundred thirty square feet of turf. Lastly, keep in mind that different types of synthetic grass may come in varying roll sizes. This may affect how much you need to purchase.
